Introduction: CSF is a clear body fluid, occupying between arachnoid mater and the pia mater. It is formed in the choroid plexus. Infection of the meninges by various pathogens is termed as meningitis. The aetiology of meningitis can be bacterial, viral and tubercular. Differentiating bacterial from non-bacterial types is important in deciding the treatment as bacterial meningitis is more prone for life threatening neurological complications and require immediate parenteral antibiotics as compared to non- bacterial antibiotics. The present study is done to evaluate the cytological findings of CSF, along with the clinical history to classify the various types of meningitis. Materials and Methods: The present study has been undertaken in the Department of Pathology, Dhiraj Hospital, for a period of one year. Lumbar puncture was performed. The direct cell count was done manually using Improved Neubauer counting chamber. Sediment smears were done and stained with Haematoxylin & Eosin, Giemsa stain and special stains like India ink as and when required. Results: The total body fluids evaluated during the study period were 385. CSF accounted for 100 samples. The range of age the group varied, between new-borns to 90 years of age. Out of 100 cases of CSF fluid, 83 were normal, 15 were viral, 2 were bacterial. The cell count results were correlated with glucose and protein values accordingly. Conclusion: This study makes an effort to use the cost effective diagnostic procedure to enable early diagnosis and prompt treatment, which in turn reduces mortality.

 Abstract

Agriculture is a biggest economy and largest workforce in India. Farmers are the backbone of our nation and depend on agriculture to fulfil their duties. But in our country farming community is the only community which faces a bunch of problems which starts immediately after the planning of right crop to cultivate still end of harvesting. In India it is not easy to cultivate and harvest a specific variety of crop because of soil conditions of the farmland. When we compare our farming technologies with the western one, we can easily understand that how far we are and in whatever technologies we are lacking. Still in India we are following the traditional way of farming with limited technologies. Today in real life Data analysis, artificial intelligence, and machine learning playing a major role in every industry. With the help of that technologies, we can understand the cropping patterns, and fertilizer recommendation of a specific land area. If we see little deeper, we can understand the quality of soil for example nutrients level, phosphorus level, potassium. level, using the sensors we have fixed already. This technology is very much accurate in understanding and deliver the farmers with good recommendations about fertilizers and crop and this will help the farmers to increase the harvest from the farmland which directly income the farmers gross product.
